Chronic conditions, such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are known to affect approximately 133 million Americans, representing over 40% of the total US population. This number is projected to grow to 157 million by the end of 2020. In addition, nearly 20 million Americans are estimated to suffer from some form of neurological disorder. Such conditions are generally characterized by a variety of complex symptoms, such as seizures, chronic pain and sleep disorders, for which medical science has not yet been able to identify an underlying cause. Drugs that offer symptomatic relief are the only treatment option currently available for such conditions. Traditionally, the go-to option has been opioids. However, this class of drugs has a high propensity of being abused. Moreover, there is a substantial body of evidence that proves that the long-term use of opioids leads to addiction, and eventually results in secondary substance use disorders.
